Aim and focus of the sessions The aim of the sessions is to enable
participants to explore and further
develop their knowledge and skills with respect to video data analysis. They
are not taught sessions rather they provide a supportive environment for
academic staff and students to:
* Share problems and seek solutions concerning video data analysis
* Explore methodological approaches to using video in research
* Further develop your analytical skills (e.g. sampling, transcription,
coding and presentation)
* Develop a åprofessional vision? ? learn how to look at (and listen to)
video
* Engage with different methodological and theoretical perspectives
pertinent to video analysis
Format The sessions are participatory and discursive. Each session will start
with
the sharing of an excerpt of video data. The group will then work together
to explore aspects of the data. A session may focus on particular problems
that the person presenting the data wants to examine and resolve, or it may
focus on particular analytical or theoretical issue. Participants will be
asked to respect the confidentiality of the data and not discuss the actual
data outside of the group.

Technology-enhanced
learning in museums: using multimodal analysis to explore visitors' learning
experience Museums have rapidly
invested in education-oriented technologies to enrich engagement in and
interpretation of their exhibits. The dominant outcome of this phenomenon,
however, is determined by the updated technological representation rather than
focusing the educational effectiveness. This study looks at visitors'
behaviours in response to these museum technologies, exploring the ways in
which visitors interact with individual elements (e.g., museum technologies,
exhibits, and other visitors) and how these different modes of communication
may create an effective learning experience. The research methodology focuses
on a qualitative and theoretical approach using video analysis, semi-structured
interviews, and document analysis. It focuses on secondary school children who
come to the museums during their school field trip in both the Natural History
Museum and the Churchill Museum in London. I will bring a short clip of my
video research and discuss how I am going to analyze my data.
